The sun rays hit my eyes, causing me to slowly creak open my eyes. I see that Cameron has opened the blinds, meaning it was time to wake up.

I hear grumbling behind me, and I turn my head, and realize that Damien was behind me, his face in my hair and arms wrapped around me. I thought Caleb was behind me. Not that I'm complaining.

I looked down at the floor and saw Caleb doing a bunch of push ups, and he was sweating quite a bit. Which made my cheek blush a tint of red.

I soon unlocked Damien's grip around me and went to the bathroom and washed up. Brushing my teeth, washing my face, showering etc, before coming out of the bathroom to him still doing push ups. Damien was stretching his body, still not processing the world around himself yet before coming over to the bathroom.

I go over and sit in front of Caleb while he's doing push up. "Aren't you tired? You've been doing this since I went into the bathroom."

"I gotta make sure I stay fit, so I do this everyday before you all wake up." He explained to me.

Wow, I don't think I could ever do that. To keep in shape I kinda just go run every morning. I couldn't keep the motivation to workout every day.

"How many have you done?"

"105 I think. This is a record." Sweats falls from his forehead onto the floor, their is a mini puddle of his sweat on the floor.

Damien walks out the bathroom and finally realized that Caleb was doing push ups. Damien usually does his work out when he wakes up, and by the time he starts his work out Caleb usually is in the shower.

"117, 118, 119... 120." He then falls to the ground in exhaustion panting and gasping for air.
"Fuck I'm tired."

Damien goes in a push up position and begans to do push ups. And he does them fast, until he gets to 50, then he starts to go at a more normal pace.
He reached 120, but pushes himself harder and goes to 130, smirking at Caleb.

"Are you trying to beat me?" Caleb asks as he gives Damien a glare.

"What, of course not. But I still did 10 more that you, so technically I did beat you." Damien's smirks only grows while sweat falls from his head. It was hot in here since the AC wasn't on.

"It's on then. Whoever stops doing pushups has to do whatever the other person want for an entire day." Caleb then gets into a push up position, and Damien does the same.

"3, 2, 1, go."

And they started, and I just watched the as they worked out. The first one who started struggling was Caleb, and Damien noticed.

"Already struggling?" Damien aud through pants.

"Of course not, watch this. Baby get on my back." Caleb requested which startled me but I stood up and sat on his back, my legs crossed, and he started to do push ups again.

"I'm doing it with more weight than you, so obviously that makes me better." Caleb said with a smirk, which Damien more competitive, so he started to do it with one hand.

"Who's better now?"

Blake walks up to the three of us, "What the hell are you three doing?"

"They're trying to see who can do more push ups. And I'm just moral support." I explained to Blake who only shrugged.

"I wish I could do more than 10 push ups." Blake whined as he walked to the door, and leaving.

"Wait, we gotta cook breakfast." I blurted as I hopped off Caleb's back before realizing that we didn't have to cook anymore.

"You remember Mr Williams said we don't have to cook anymore, right? He took away all our punishments." Caleb struggled to explain, as his arms looked like they were about to give, luckily the moment he collapsed, Damien did as well.

"A draw?"

"A draw."

"You two go shower, and meet me at the dining hall ok?" I requested and they nodded, both of them still exhausted on the floor. I stood up and waved them bye as I left and made my way to the dining hall.

I walked in and spotted Cameron, Mia, and Blake. I waltzed over to them and sat next to Blake, who sits across from Mia and Cameron.

"So are you two still going strong?" I ask the couple across the table.

"I would hope so." Cameron responded as he looked at Mia for an answer, in which she nodded.

"What about you?" Mia countered.

"Yea, I think we're stronger than we were before." I think it was because we were always stressing about when we were gonna be killed.
But since Caleb is no longer being targeted and I don't think the hiking trip is any time soon, we have time to actually be a throuple. But I still haven't come up with anything to avoid my death. I really need to come up with something or this could be my last summer alive.

"Where are they anyway?"

"Showering, they'll be here soon enough."

After about 30 minutes the doors open and I see Damien and Caleb walking through the door. They spot us and walk over and sit down next to me.

"My arm are exhausted." Caleb announced as he rested his head on the table. I wonder why, it's definitely not it you just did over 100 pushups 50 minutes ago.

***

We just finished breakfast, and now it's time for my morning run. I usually just run on the lake trails alone for my morning run. But today Damien and Caleb had decided to join me.
Not that I don't want them to run with me, but I don't think they can jog as long as me. I can jog for at least 15 to 20 minutes without stopping.

"You guys sure?" I ask.

"Yea, I've got nothing better to do." Damien shrugged as he started to stretch his legs, Caleb agreed. So I shrugged. If they say they can do it than I can't stop them.

"Alright, come on." I say as I began to jog, they immediately followed. I was going at a medium pace, not too fast and not too slow. They kept up and we started to play eyes spy, which was stupid, because the game got to point where we were just saying the same shit. Rock, clouds, water, dirt, trees, and the sun.

"I spy something beautiful." Said Damien.

I let out an annoyed sigh, "I swear if it's water again."

"Nope."

"The clouds, the sun?" Caleb chimed.

"Nope, it's two things. They're short, and have nearly two different styles." Damien further explain, which made me realize he was talking about us, which was sweet, but—

"I'm not short. 5'8 for a highschool guy isn't short. Im not the size of a basketball player." I scoffed and he simply snickered.

"You're still short to me."

"Yea, cause you're like 6 feet."

"6'2 actually."

I began to mock him, and he started to mock me. And we were mocking one another for at least five minutes before Caleb stopped us. After about 10 minutes there was an obvious space between me and them. Showing that they were clearly getting tired.

"Tired already?" I laughed, directly towards Damien.

"Shut up!"
